The Principality of Lisander is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime-Minister Isabella Amis with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.873 billion Lisanderians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Lisanderian economy, worth a remarkable 5,786 trillion Lis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,615 Lis, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Lisander Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, it turns out that trees grow on Lis, the monarchy has returned to a simpler time when genitalia was the deciding factor of competence, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime is totally unknown. Lisander's national animal is the Ermine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Aristotelic Church.

Lisander is ranked 306,772nd in the world and 5th in Astyria for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18.87 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
